well the only dissavantage of getting 2 snakes is not knowing how they will react in the same enclosure, seeing you are putting them in the same enclosure. you still need to know what one you fed and when you fed it, feed them in a seprate tank you dont want them to encorpiate your hand wiht food. and you dot want them to both attack the same prey in some cases they both attack the same mouse from different ends and can eath the other snake if they get their mouth over the others nose, may i remind you this is very rare a 1 in a million chance. i hope i could be a help to you, you might wanna make sure they are not both male, they will fight for ground, but this is only if you house them in the same enclosure. :twoguns:
